Retaliator Bombers are a heavy cruiser-class Retaliator enemy in Everspace 2. They are identified on the heads-up display by a twin-triangle icon. Compared to the Outlaw Bomber, they have a lower amount of shield but a higher amount of armor.
Characteristics & Behavior[]
Bombers fire pairs of Homing Frost Missiles at regular intervals and are also equipped with Frost Scatter Guns for close-range combat. They try to keep their distance to the player to keep firing their Missiles. They always appear with two Retaliator Frost Shield Drones which provide an impenetrable shield in front of the Bomber.
All weapons from Retaliator Bombers build up the Frozen condition.
Strategy[]
Since the drones always stay within a set distance of the Bomber and therefore only move at the Bomber's slow pace, sniping the drones with a Rail Gun from outside the Bomber's missile range before approaching is a good starting tactic. Weapons with armor penetration are recommended to quickly destroy this enemy.
The Frozen Condition form the Missiles stack up quickly, so you should try to avoid getting hit be them to not get your ship disabled for a short time.
